Americans recorded 237 brands doing business in Russia as “outcast”

Scientists divided companies into 5 groups

Yale University compiled its own list of trustworthy and unreliable international companies whose activity on the Russian market has changed. Scientists were not too lazy to divide the vast list of brands that have ever supplied products to the Russian Federation into 5 groups and shame those who fell into the shameful directories “Dug in” and “Waiting”.

The behavior of large corporations and medium-sized network companies prompted bright American minds to give a new characterization to all of them. Thus, 1400 companies were divided into 5 groups depending on their reaction to the events of February 24th.

The first group is actively scammed by representatives of Yale University. It’s called “Dug in”. It presents 237 companies that, as if nothing had happened, continue to conduct their business in Russia. For example, these are the Spanish company Acerinox (stainless steel manufacturer), the Agricultural Bank of China, the American Aimbridge, which owns the hotel business. This selection is represented mainly by Chinese firms. But it is very generously diluted with German and American.

“This position represents companies for which cooperation with Russia is a matter of survival, that is, life and death,” says economist Vitaly Tokarev. – For them, our country remains the main market. Note that there is even a Polish furniture company Black Red White, which was guilty of staying in Belarus, that is, on the territory of a Russian ally.

The second group is called “Waiting”. 160 companies are now at a low start and waiting to see where the wind blows. And judging by how actively they are moving into the third directory – “We reduced business”, where 171 companies that are happening in Russia cease to suit them.

The fourth group consists of 497 companies that have “Business Suspended”. In the fifth 309 brands that “left the market.”

It is difficult to say how stable these groups will remain. The most mobile of them are the second and third. There, business owners are torn between common sense, “pure economics” and political attitudes.
